why rainbow
Because there is a large intersection between autistic people and the lgbtq+ people, the lgbtq+ club at my school and the neurodivergent club are indistinguishable.
they're completely different, so why rainbow
Why not?

I mean rainbow is already being used alot so have something to differentiate them.

not that there's anything wrong with rainbow, just I don't get why it's the color

I may be wrong but I’m pretty sure it’s not rainbow because of lgbtq. It just.. is.

If it is though, I’m not a fan of that as a probably neurodivergent Muslim because I don’t think lgbtq should be directly associated with disabilities, since yes people can be lgbtq and disabled but being disabled doesn’t automatically make you lgbtq and vice versa
35% of autistic people is lgbtq+…….

there's no correlation between autism and lgbtq+ edit to remove potential cause for argument

It is because of the spectral nature of autism, same witth the spectral nature of rainbows.

It's for neurodiversity in general, which is a spectrum. The rainbow represents how many different variations of it there are.

No support. Pretending mental disorders are natural variations in human brain function denies support to the people that need it most. It's no better than pretending they don't exist.

They are natural

I’m not mad, but just more disappointing that autism month wasn’t celebrated for whatever reason.

I have a post about this here from a (duplicate?) topic https://scratch-mit-edu.ezproxy.canberra.edu.au/discuss/post/7627912/ that I'd like to contribute to the discussion

It doesn't do anything. I guess having a neurodivergency studio featured isn't enough huh. When someone joins Scratch they openly say in the CG everybody is welcome regardless of anything, included ability.

Agreed, I don’t think we need these emojis

we don't need a pride or blm emoji, but we still have it

srry for necro reply

Yeah, I feel like adding these might spread neurodivergency aw‌ereness.
